The Postscript Murders by Elly Griffiths
THE POSTSCRIPT MURDERS by Elly Griffiths is everything a diverting murder
mystery should be: clever play on words, likeable characters, humorous
incidents, and plenty of twists and turns in a puzzling story. Award-winning
author Griffiths has crafted a stand-alone mystery - although I would be happy
to see a reprise of the amateur detectives Benedict (a former monk), Natalka
(a caregiver), and Edwin (retired from
the BBC) in the future. Together with Detective Sargeant Harbinder Kaur, they investigate the sudden
death of an old age pensioner, Peggy Smith, who also advertised as a “murder consultant.” Often acknowledged by
mystery writers for her help, Peggy dies shortly after spotting some suspicious
men outside her own apartment complex. Motivated by friendship for Peggy and learning
to trust each other, Benedict, Natalka, and Edwin travel to a literary festival in Aberdeen, Scotland where yet
another death occurs and romance blossoms. Booklist
gave THE POSTSCRIPT MURDERS a starred review. Enjoy!
